HP only supported that computer to Win XP with drivers. Enter into device manager and identify the devices. Start with the network adapter. If you can get a network connection Win 7 updates may find drivers for the rest.

Respond back with the information for the network adapter and we'll try to find a driver.

It should be a broadcom 57xx for the wired adapter. Identify the last two digits and get a driver from here.
The problem with troubleshooting is that trouble shoots back.

hongbo.yin,If the driver works with Vista, then select that OS for the compatibility install. Right click, select troubleshoot program, check worked in previous version, and select an OS where the driver worked.

I can't explain how Kingfisher2009 was able to get it work.

have you tried Start(orb)>type devmgmt.msc in the serch box, select the device manager from programs, expand the network adapter heading, right click the wireless card, select uninstall. Then right click on the computer name at the top and select scan for hardware changes. Let Win 7 try to install the wireless card.

While you are in device manager, right click the wireless card and select properties>details tab>click the drop-down box for hardware id. copy the top line and post it here. Let's identify the card to find a driver.

I do not think I can help. It's an Atheros based wireless card using A5211 chip. There simply are no drivers for Vista or beyond. XP only. If installing the XP drivers in compatibility mode does not work, you will have to replace the mini-PCI wireless card. An Intel 2915 would work-non-IBM version (Dell, etc.) with Vista driver.

One more try. Download and install the client utility here in compatibility mode, select XP SP1. Then install the drivers again in the same manner. It seems these two work together. The client utility may be the solution.
